I just got me a new car and was wondering what sort of rides everyone else has.

the car i just got is a totally factory looking blue over silver 1990 VN commodore. 3.8 V6 wth a 5 speed manual box. awesome car with plenty of grunt and oh soo comfortable to ride in. i just ordered a performance chip for it too. my other wagons are a mazda titan double cab tip truck and a 4x4 delica diesel van. (they are the ones that make it on the road) so now you see why i say the commy is so comfy lol. i have also got a couple of roughy 4wd's i use to push logs, get airborne and stuck in(i hate getting stuck) letting kids drive and that sort of thing. im about to build a log splitter on the back of one of them. should be ass end heavy enough to do wheelies then haha. no doubt i will be dumb enough to try one day

XFG. Well in real life it's a 1985 Mazda Familia XG 3 door (same colours as the car I race with TC on the side) (Thanks to Piratebob). Just over 86,000k's original

lol no wonder you like driving the xfg. a mate of mine down here has a 85 323 turbo. he is always doing something under the bonnet of it. its madness the amount of power they put out

Yeah same car, mines the import version of the 323

I drive KUMHO?

When I saw the title of this thread I almost cried! I haven't owned a car for 2yrs now! ( and NO I didnt lose my Licence! )

4TH: 1990 NISSAN SENTRA SPORTWAGON! YEAH BABY! 1.4LTR 280,000KM'S! NZ NEW!I loved this car, it just kept going and going when I was a student, and did the best burnouts! and was Awesome for Rallying ( note: on private roads )

well there are some cool cars listed here. i am trying to remember all the cars i have owned, here are a few.
mark 1 cortina, i had a 2litre cortina engine and 5 spd supra g/b fitted in that, a real hoons car that was.
mark 3 GT cortina, already fitted with a 3 litre v6. fast as til ya got to about 160k's. still had the 4 cyl diff int it so thats as fast as it went lol.
1987 holden barina, went really well and i thrashed it for about 5? years til it blew the g/b and i traded it in.
1986 nissan bluebird, puss bucket granny car.
the good ol vauxhall viva, my first car and i handled all the things 15-16 year olds can do. ah the memories .
VE valiant, like a couch on wheels til ya got to about the ton, then it felt like the titanic lol i over revved the old 225 beating a cortina in a drag and sold it after that.
one of those sentra wagons that kwak loved. and just like him i liked it too although i dont think i drove it on gravel, done the wicked handbrakies tho. i done one from about 120k's and swung on the wheel HARD one night. (mad!!).
the good ol datto!! 120Y coupe, along with the mark 1 about the only cars i regret selling, i could zig zag the cats eyes on the open road at 100 k's in that. i used to get bored driving the 45 k's home at night lol.
hangs head and admits to owning a tredia turbo. fast wee car but......
i dont think that was as bad as the triumph 2000 lmao. what a piece of british motoring that was. why did i buy that?
mazda b1600 ute x2
mazda b2200 ute
a suzuki van, i used that as a woodbox when i was living near tuatapere on the edge of the fiordland forest. i would drive into the bush area, find dry wood, cut it and throw it in the van and park it by my back door. excellent!!
a vauxhall chevette good wee rally car. had that for the bush roads out at tuatapere. felt as tho it was flying being so small. but probly not!!
im sure i have missed a couple but they cant be worth remembering, like the bluebird diesel......that ran on waste oil haha

I would post on this if I was actually old enough to drive a car

No worries speeder, we're just gettin it all written down before we're too old to remember
